In UV curing dries or hardens specially formulated inks and coatings in a fraction of a second. During this process, their constituents polymerize or cross-link. UV inks consist of oligomers, monomers, and photoinitiators. Unlike conventional inks and coatings, they do not require solvents or thinners that would otherwise need to evaporate or be removed during the drying process.
This makes UV curing a process with distinctive technical properties and a wide range of uses across numerous industrial applications.
